Edit: some others beat me to it! lol, that's what I get for being wordy.

In regard to Gygor... I believe he was a gorilla character that never made it into production. In the art book, it included an image of three animals (from the Big Jim toyline, I think, though I may be mistaken) that were used over again for MOTU toys. One was the Big Jim tiger which became the basis for Battle Cat, Panthor, and Clawdeen. One was the eagle, which became Zoar, Screeech, and the never released Glory Bird. The other was a gorilla. Again, I could be wrong, but I think Gygor was meant to be heroic. For some reason it seems like I remember a prototype image or illustration of He-Man riding on top of the creature.

Could Denebria be filed for Optikk? Though, if that were the case, I don't know why Optikk and Denebria wouldn't have been filed together at the same time. Was the Quagmi Swamp on Denebria? My memory is fuzzy on that one...

I guess he's a large scale beast? I'll bet he's roughly as tall as Battle Cat is long.

I posted a map from the mini-comics above. Quagmi is supposed to be the Quagmi Swamp. Gorn World is Gorn City.

Here is Optikk's original description from the back of his 1989 toy package:

Evil Mutant Spy from the foggy polar region of evil planet Denebria. The Denebrian fog is so dense here that he has a spyball eyeball that sees through almost anything. His rotating spyball and his Photon Neutralizer weapon make him one of the meanest mutants in the Tri-Solar System.

Mission: To assist Skeletor and the rest of the Evil Mutants by keeping his eye on He-Man and the Galactic Gaurdians from planet Primus.

Battle Equipment: Photon Neutralizer weapon.

and also, here is Slush Head's original description:

Evil Mutant moron and goon squad member from the Quagmi Swamp on alien planet Denebria! Has suckers on his arms and water on his brain!

Masters Action!
Make him hold his enemies with his high-tech tentacles! Raise his right arm and let go to make Trident Laser-Axe chop down in battle!

It's your place for Freedom of Speach for everything MOTU, POP, TMNT, , Horror, Wrestling, DC and Batman, and all other properties that are cool.
Is is now up and live please check it out and spread the word please!!!

In Australia 'Slush head' was 'Kalamar', So thats what I always know him as, the cool thing about the NA Characters is that some of them already have a 'Real name' for the Bios (eg Slush Head-Kalamar,Flogg-Brakk etc)

And chances are that since the 'Real' names are vintage they will get through with full approval from the NA and Broader minded community! yay!
